"The human heart does not stay away too long from that which hurt it most. There is a return journey to anguish that few of us are released from making."
Lillian Smith American Novelist 1897-1966
A MOTHER'S LOSS
Once a hapless little egg
Had made it journey only to be joined
By a seed of love on its final leg
To wherever it was going
Destiny was forever changed
My life would never be my own again
I was to be forever chained
To that little life from way back when
It is the severed string that brings the pain
When her child embarks to a place unknown
She thinks it will never be the same again
Once her little one is now on his own
Though he grew and found a brand new life
And I was sent to find my own again
He embraced a journey and a loving wife
And left me with memories from way back when
But alas, I have returned
To the journey he has offered to share
There is one thing I have learned
As a mother I'm a millionaire
